Let go

And some have this habit of looking out windows and calling it impossible
they look forward to sleeping so they can escape these feelings
hug pillows, tight, and dream of
letting go..

If I could paint a picture of all I could never hold in my hands
I'd name it possible and jump from this earth
I'd somersault with the wind
put the dirt in my pockets and sail to the Arctic
so I could show the Eskimos that you can build castles out of anything

People need hope.
every non-believer believes in something

So doctor, explain to me sunset because I know you felt it as a boy
Captain, do you notice the mermaids
while you are steering the ship to some other land
Mathematician, does your heart unwind at the pages of certain books like a problem you can't solve

We consists of science and things that can't be explained by it,
the world is not a foreign place;
we are foreign to it

it spins and spins and spins
while we wait and wait and wait

looking out of windows wishing for our chance to jump
because so many of us have responsibility tied to our ankles
we clipped our wings years ago
buried the pages of fables
put away our crayons the moment we got our driver's license
blocked out our imaginations with our big words and plans for the future
but the future is just an excuse for you not to do incredible
things with your life right now..

the minutes are ticking....

moments build up on themselves.
Our memories are what shape our visions

windows are here for you to know that other places exists on the otherside of them
open the door
unbutton your blouse and feel the wind on your chest
sleep on your roof tonight so you can hear the heartbeat of the stars

that beat because someone, somewhere is on the otherside of them wishing

you don't have to wait until tomorrow to go to the edge of the earth
you don't have to wait until you are in your bed clutching your pillow tight sleeping
you don't have to wait until you are dreaming
before you let go...
